org.apache.poi.hdgf.HDGFLZW

public class HDGFLZW
extends LZWDecompresser

A decoder for the crazy LZW implementation used in Visio. According to VSDump, "it's a slightly perverted version of LZW compression, with inverted meaning of flag byte and 0xFEE as an 'initial shift'". It uses 12 bit codes (http://www.gnome.ru/projects/vsdump_en.html) Two good resources on LZW are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZW http://marknelson.us/1989/10/01/lzw-data-compression/
